Maybe they should have also sued his first grade reacher for failing to give him an “F” for playing well with others.
Unless the article is reporting the facts inaccurately, there is no legal cause of action in any state in the country for what the plaintiff is claiming against Pitt here. The case will get dismissed, and Pitt won’t pay the plaintiff a penny, not even cost of defense.
This is a totally uninformed and inaccurate statement. In most cases the opposite is true-the insurance carrier or self-insured defendants would rather pay their attorneys $100,000 to stomp out a B.S. claim than pay the B.S. claimant a fraction of that.
Yeah . Maybe it's just at the point of a greedy lawyer telling the family in a way
Buffett nailed it, that whole post is accurate and informed-but you still don’t get it. Insurance carriers and self-insureds don’t pay on meritless claims. The evaluate every claim for their potential exposure. Where they have no exposure, as in this case, they won’t pay a penny. They will pay their lawyers to file a motion to dismiss the case for lack of legal basis immediately, in my state or would be filed in lieu of an answer to the plaintiff’s complaint, and I’d be very surprised if PA law doesn’t permit the same.
No-not under any state’s legal scheme. There are some loser-pays states where after the case goes to trial and survives appeal the loser has to pay some portion of the winner’s litigation costs and attorney fees.
What if Pitt leadership feels there's risk of looking insensitive or even hostile in this politically charged case? Not that I believe that in the least, but they might. Remember, the local media will be happy to crucify the school for even the slightest appearance of playing the heavy. Gallagher with all his 'diversity tweets' and the like in particular may not want to be called out for hypocrisy.
there’s a much greater downside risk to Pitt of sending a message to the world that you’re an easy mark for potential litigants. That’s why in most cases the insurers and self-insiders would rather pay their lawyers significant money to squash the claim and discourage any future BS claims.
I live 5 minutes from there and wouldn't have a problem walking through east Pittsburgh .
Yeah . But it was safe . Meaning drug deals gone wrong and people killing each other over it .You beat the sjit out of each other and moved on
It appeared that way . Maybe . Yeah it wasn't where we chose to hang but when having to go there and pick a bud up . Not that scary . Scary . But not that bad .
I know . Really ?
Opioids especially brother
High school kid was actively involved in a felony. The parents failed. Now they are trying to profit on that, play the victims of course, use the race card instead of looking in the mirror and realizing their child is dead because they failed as parents.
I don’t think these failures were smart enough to plan beforehand this nor did I ever say this. It happened and now they are trying to profit on it.
Look I like reading your posts and enjoy coming around to read them but obviously you are not a parent or if you are you just dont give a shit .
Give a S about what? A kid who was involved in a drive by shooting? Damn right I don’t give a S.
About the difficulty of parenthood no matter how you shadow your kids !
